It kind of sucks to see all the 'Cons getting caught one after another like that, but I have to wonder who made Lockdown the "better deal" at the end? The female Starscream clone maybe? She's the only one who hasn't appeared in Season 3 yet, and she seemed like the one to take command. Or maybe Strika and her team? Is it just me or do the female Decepticons make pretty good leaders?

Damn, I really, really, REALLY want to know the female Starscream Clone's name already! Come on already! We finally, FINALLY get a female Seeker and she doesn't even get a name? That just bites.

Anyway, this ep's been the best since "Transwarped" so far, IMO. It's good to finally learn more about Prowl's past, and I have to wonder now what did happen to all those protoforms? I'm guessing they were put aboard the Nemesis, and that's where Starscream got the bodies for his clone army from. Megatron was probably looking for the Allspark to bring his soldiers to life, though Allspark fragments seem to work just as well. Perhaps that's where Sari originated from as well, which might mean she's technically a Decepticon.

Or maybe I'm a fangirl with waaaayyy too much time on her hands to be speculating about this.

Anyway, I can't wait to learn more! I really wish this show wasn't ending. The storytelling is amazing!

I think LD was referring to Ramjet.

Anyone else get a G1 Afterburner vibe from Prowls Cybertronian alt mode? Warpath looked pretty badass...the autobots could use more of him on earth.

[Code of Honor]

George Takei as Yoketron... Awesome!!! Great episode too.

[Seeker]

best of season 3 so far imo, tempting to get samurai prowl...

[StarwarsTF]

Ummmmm kill bill Vol 3 anybody? LOL Not a bad episode but defiantly not a top one either :( However bring on a Warpath fig!!!! :)

I was thinking more like War Within Afterburner, but ya, I got the vibe too.

God damnit they just can't do me wrong in this show. Warpath will be to Blackout what Hulk Hogan was to King Kong Bundy.

I loved the interaction between Prowl and Jazz. I really do appreciate that the producers are doing everything they can for fans.

Hey... producers. I know you're reading this one way or another. Thank You.

HI EVERYBODY! This is my first post :) 'so anyway, I wanted to mention that I read the titles for the next few eps after ep 35 and I think the titles are different or they changed? 'not sure what happens in the eps yet though...?!

[Darth Grimlock]

I love how Prime put Sentinal in his place. That is one show down that Sp is going to regret. Prowl and Jazz are by far my favs for the Autobots so far this season. Now we just need more Dinobots!!!!

[Sting Rose]

I'm going to have to really go against the grain here and say that this episode really blew. It was good for its insight: Prowl's attitude before Yokitron took him under his wing, and the depths Sentinel would stoop to. George Takei as Yokitron is just plain awesome, and Warpath was terrifyingly cool. There were quite a few things going for this, but there were a lot of disconnects as well. I think Sentinel's jerkery and Prowl's past would have been better executed as separate episodes.

Now for the bad.

Firstly, I'm honestly really critical of an episode that has little to do with the main plot. If this is supposed to be the last season, I really think they should be pulling out all the stops, not airing fillers. We still haven't seen Sari, nor know of how she's taking to being older, half-robotic, and how she's managing her powers. We also haven't seen Starscream and Megatron (remember him? Leader of the Decepticons?).

If they manage to tie up all the loose ends, and finish the series with a bang, I'll be ecstatic, but I can't help but think this was a waste of time until we know for sure.

Secondly, it's just really weird that Prowl and Jazz were acting like Yokitron went into hiding, and/or mysteriously disappeared when Prowl watched him die. It was completely and utterly unambiguous. You could say that maybe Jazz didn't know, but it seems unlikely that he wouldn't know the fate of his former teacher, furthermore seeing as how he and Prowl were working together, it's even less likely that Prowl wouldn't disclose this information. It's kinda really important.

Also, a lot of things were really just off. Think about it. Prowl and Lockdown have gone at it how many times, already; Prowl's been using his fighting styles since day one, and Lockdown decides now of all of them to call out their names? Also, he randomly decides to wear Yokitron's helmet? And for some reason or other, has an exact copy of Prowl's armour? (I could think of a reason as to why, but it's based on a...special kind of logic XD)

Probably worst of all is that if you look and listen to what Prowl learned from Yokitron, his going Mod-happy back in Fistful of Energon shouldn't have happened at all. He should have already known from his experience as a student that the mods don't make the mech, yet this was competely absent.

TL;DR: I liked the Jettwins, I liked Yokitron, I liked the insight, I liked Warpath cameo, and I loved watching Prime take Sentinel down a peg, or five. If you liked the episode, by all means, I won't begrudge you your happy tiemz, but overall, I found this episode really didn't make sense, and felt really forced. :B

Here's hoping the next one's better.
